[personal note]
I want to let you know that the Bank On Washington annual forum is coming up! You can join us on September 2nd & 3rd at University of Washington - Tacoma! This year’s theme is Bridges Over Barriers: An Economic Justice Forum.
The BOWA Forum has been a place to explore the barriers faced by marginalized communities that have been historically excluded from mainstream financial services, and the barriers for service providers trying to build effective programs to meet these challenges.
Our goals are to learn, build relationships, and find collaboration partners for the year ahead. We do this by fostering understanding and partnerships across sectors, that may have vastly different systems and strategies but share a common goal of increasing financial empowerment for everyone.
This event is for community professionals committed to advancing inclusive banking and financial wellbeing for all Washingtonians!
